“Planet of the Grapes to return to its spiritual home in Holborn”

Sicilian Avenue

Planet of the Grapes returns to Holborn !!

A Wine Bar, Shop & Tasting Cellar, with open air seating in a beautiful pedestrian avenue, it is the perfect place for the people of Holborn to relax, have a glass and a bite to eat, or pick up a bottle or twelve for later.

Our latest addition to the family takes us back to our roots in Holborn where PotG began over ten years ago. We look forward to welcoming back old friends (and hopefully many new) to our beautiful new wine shop and bar on the picturesque Sicilian Avenue.

Alongside an extensive range of both everyday and fine wines, we offer a tasty selection of Canapés and small plates, including the glorious house made sausage rolls and pork pies – checkout our sample menus below!

Our intimate tasting cellar is available for private hire – Monday to Saturday for your office party, birthday celebration or corporate event. We also host wine and food tastings throughout the year.

Please sign up to our newsletter to be kept up date with all PotG events and offers.

EVENTS

To complement our fine wine and food offerings, Planet of the Grapes and Fox Fine Wines also run wine events; Wine Dinners, Masterclasses and Private/Corporate Tastings. These events focus on showcasing an individual producer, an entire region, or a selection of eclectic wines from all over the world.

We have managed to secure the last two pallets of our house Provençal Rosé from the winery, having sold our allocation before the end of June. Rosé doesn’t come any paler or any better than this, and it isn’t priced to reflect the celebrity owners’ divorce settlement either.

Chateau Rimauresq Cru Classé Rosé 2016
Another old favourite from one of Provence’s best known estates. This is slightly darker than the Pigoudet and more suited to food. Robust enough to stand up to barbecued meat, but pretty enough to go with nothing but sunshine, this is a versatile summer classic.

The other classic French summer Rosé; this Pinot Noir comes from Elisa Gueneau; our favourite Loire producer. Slightly darker than the Provence Rosés, this is bursting with bright red fruit and real Pinot Noir character. Rosé doesn’t come any more sophisticated than this!

Since I first met Elisa in Dusseldorf several year’s ago her Sancerre Blanc has become our biggest selling wine. It might not be the cheapest Sancerre on the market, but it is certainly one of the best; beautifully restrained Sauvignon Blanc and a cut above the competition.
